In plain words

This blogging platform enables writers to embed live, executable Lua code examples directly in web articles using WebAssembly. Readers can interact with and modify code snippets in real-time within the browser, transforming static tutorials into dynamic learning experiences. It's designed for developers and technical writers who want to create more engaging Lua programming documentation and educational content.

This blog post is about to show a new way of blogging about Lua . Look at a typical blog post or tutorial about any programming language: The article usually presents a couple of code snippets.

The dream was about interactivity, liveness, evaluation… But we put this dream aside - because the browser understands only javascript . And after a while, we even forgot that we ever had this dream. Question: Well, look at Wikipedia — it’s a tremendous collaboration. Alan Kay: It is, but go to the article on Logo , can you write and execute Logo programs? Are there examples?

    A bit of context… I've been building https://blogmaker.app since April 2021, 5 years now. The launch tweet: https://x.com/BlogmakerApp/status/1383742023627247630 I had built it initially as a personal challenge to see if I could have a working product for 20 hours worth of work, and I did it. This was way before AI tools. A few months later, I included a Stripe button and the first payment came immediately in. In September 2022 I decided to focus (give up my contract gigs as a designer/dev). I took out a personal loan for $20K and then an angel…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
